You can feel a short knife the moment you meet something big. Halfway through a cabbage the blade runs out, you saw at it, and the cut goes crooked.
What Are the Key Features of This 20 cm Black-Handled Chef Knife?
A 20 cm blade cuts in one pass - longer than most of what you put under it, so the edge draws all the way through instead of sawing and crushing.
Long enough to rock on the board - the tip stays down while the heel lifts, which is how herbs, garlic and onion get chopped fine without chasing them around.
Black handle, easy to see - it stands out on a pale worktop and in a full sink, which is where a knife you cannot see becomes the dangerous one.
Check the photographs for handle material - grip when greasy is the thing that matters most on a knife handle.
Store it edge-protected - 20 cm loose in a cutlery drawer blunts the knife and catches fingers. A strip, a block or a sheath, and it stays sharp for years.
Where Can You Use This 20 cm Chef Knife?
On the daily board: onion, tomato, pepper and cabbage
Through a chicken breast, in one draw rather than two
On a watermelon in summer
Rocking on the board for herbs and garlic, tip down
Stored on a magnetic strip, in a block, or in a sheath - never loose among the spoons
Why Choose a 20 cm Blade Over a Short Knife?
Leave more than 20 cm on the strip - that figure is the blade alone, so give a magnetic strip or block extra room for the handle.
The board knife, not the bread knife - it is built for the everyday board, and bread is the one job it is not asking for.
